Sammy Watkins, Jordan Matthews trades shake up WR rankings
- August 13, 2017
Signing veteran left tackle Andrew Whitworth from Cincinnati to solidify and give a hard-nosed veteran presence on the line. Jared Goff doesn't have to be a star this year, but he does have to look like a competent starter. The addition of Watkins will likely shift the two back into the roles they played with the Bills , with Woods being more of a possession receiver; Woods had 51 receptions for 613 yards and one touchdown a year ago.

- August 13, 2017
New Brighton midfielder Pascal Gross created the most goalscoring chances in the German Bundesliga last season (98) while plying his trade for FC Ingolstadt 04. More defensive recruits would help the team be more resistant to conceding goals, which was a major pitfall throughout past year.

OpenAI's Dota 2 bot defeats world's best pro player
- August 12, 2017
The full game of Dota is played by two teams of five. Dota 2 is normally played as a 5-vs-5 team game, so limiting the bot to a 1-on-1 match greatly reduces the complexity. After the AI quickly got the first kill in the second round, the human player gave up and forfeited the rest of the match. The Artificial Intelligence , as created by OpenAI, learned the gameplay all by itself, from the scratch. (more...)
